G'ALLEY.

SPECIPICATIONJorming part-of Letters Patent No. 365,308, dated June 21,1887.

Application filed October 528, 1886. Serial No. 217,453.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GILBERT E. Jones, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements inGalleys, of which the following is'aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in galleys; and it consists inthe features set forth in the following specification and claims, andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a planview of a galley containing my invention. Fig. 2 is a section in theplane m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section in the plane 3, y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4is a plan view of a quoin, the cam being indicated in dotted outlines.Fig. 5 is a section in the plane 2 2, Fig.

' 4. Figs. 6, 7, and 8 show modified forms of locking-block andside-stick.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the example shown in the drawings, the letter A indicates the side ofa galley.

B indicatesthe type or matter.

0 indicates the side-stick.

V G is a quoin, which maybe provided with a side lock, D, and an endlock, E. The quoin G audits cam F are supported on a pivot, I, and thecam is provided with lugs H H, for attachment of a wrench, through whichthe cam, quoin, and locks D E are actuated. The side lock, D, pressesagainst the side-stick O to lock up the matter. The end lock, E, isadapted to lock against the end of the matter. The end lock, E, isridged or arched, so that it can pass over the side-stick O.

Heretofore it has been customary to apply two or more quoins along theside-stick O to lockup the matter, but such application of severalquoins consumes time.

To avoid the application of several quoins, I have provided the galleywith a lockingblock, N. The locking-block N may consist of wood, lead,or other suitable material. It is well to fasten said locking-block tothe galley, so that said block N will not become detached or lost fromthe galley. When the type or matter has been placed in the galley and isready to be locked up, the side-stick O is forced in between thelocking-block N and the matter, so as to lock up the matter. By

(No model.)

beveling or inclining the edges or part of the edges of the block Nwhich the side-stick 0 passes the side-stick will be readily guided intoplace, and a slight blow or push upon the side-stick with the hand orany suitable instrument will crowd' or force the side-stick in betweenthe block N and the matter B, so as to lock up the matter. By this meansthe application of at least one quoin and the timerequiredforsuchapplicationaresaved. Imay even, if desired, avoid the useof any quoin and apply two or more locking-blocks in the manner shown inthe application of the block N in the drawings. In such case it willonly be necessary tocrowd or force the side-stick into its proper place,whereby the matter will become locked up, the time required ,for theapplication of a quoin or qnoins being saved. The locking-block N may bescrewed, soldered, or otherwise secured or fixed to the galley.

In order to prevent endwise or longitudinal motion of the sidestick 0,said sidestick may be attached to the locking-block N. A convenientmanner of attachment is shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8, where the side-stickis provided with a recess or notch, 0, adapted to engage a lug orprojection, P, on the lockingblock N.

The side-stick maybe provided with notches 0 near either of its ends, sothat either end of the side-stick may engage the lug P. As seen in thedrawings, the form of lug P and notch O is such as to allow a readyinsertion or withdrawal of the side-stick into or from the galley.

By inclining a face of the lug P, as seen in Fig. 6, the side-stick canbe readily put into or taken out of engagement with the lockingblock N,while the side-stick when in engagement with the locking-block N is heldagainst endwise or longitudinal motion. Of course the same engagementcan be obtained by forming the lug P on the side-stick and the notch Oin the locking-block. I

Ido not herein claim a quoin provided with a cam having arigidly-attached handle or lugs by which to turn it; and, further, I donot herein claim a quoin provided with a stop to co-operate with a stopon a rotating cam journaled on the quoin in such manner that when thecam is turned to bring its stop into engagement with the stop on thequoin the latter, with the cam, can be introduced into or removed fromthe galley, as such features eonstitute the subject-matter of myapplication of 5 even date herewith, Serial No. 217,459.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A galley provided with a locking-block having a lug or projection, P,in combination to with a side-stick having a notch, O, substantially asdescribed.

2. A galley provided with a locking-block,

N, fixed in a stationary position and having a beveled or inclined edge,in combination with a side-stick and a quoin, substantially as (10- [5scribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

GILBERT E. JONES.
